Fun:
Pre ordered this game and got it today through the post! So far after playing for an hour or so its exactly like Guitar Hero 5 within the layout of the game, the graphics all except the play list.
I have to say I'm really enjoying the game and only tried out the Bass and Guitar parts yet and I love the songs that are in the game, I find myself actually singing a long to them while playing the guitar which must be good! Really glad they made a more pop version of Guitar Hero for people who are more interested in that side of the music.
The only downside I find to this game is the fact that you still have pretty much the same outfits and hairstyles to create a rockstar. Then again its been like that for every other Guitar Hero.
If you are like me and play on Easy most of the time then don't expect yourself to hit all of the Gold/Plat records within each instrument because its quite difficult this time around unlike other games.
Like I keep saying, this is a fantastic game for the family and friends and even better if you enjoy the more pop orientated music rather than that Rock and Roll genre in Guitar Hero.
Post and Packaging was fantastic! Arrived within 1 day!

Fun:
The game play and usability is pretty much the same as the Guitar Hero games; in that you have quick play mode, career mode, online gaming, and so on. As with Guitar Hero, you can use two guitars, a drum kit and a microphone with this game, allowing if you wish, 4 gamers playing simultaneously.
The tracks in this game do tend to be mostly of the pop genre, and in my opinion I would say the music is maybe more aimed at young females due to some of the tracks such as Spice Girls Wannabe, Alphabeat and Nelly Furtado to name a few. To be honest, I think the tracklist is a little random, I'm a 25 year old male who is fairly clued up on music, however there are many tracks that I have never heard of. I would have thought really that this game might have consisted of loads of classic karaoke type songs such as Gloria Gaynor: I will Survive, Cyndi Lauper: Girls Just Wanna Have Fun, a few Madonna tracks perhaps... those kinda tracks. But maybe that's just me.
Saying that, its a great laugh to play if theres a group of you and you have had a few drinks, especially if you do have the whole instrument kit, great for annoying your neighbours at night with some late night jamming lol. If you have played any other Guitar Hero games and enjoy them, then you should like this, however in my opinion I would buy Guitar Hero World Tour over this one, as I feel the tracklist is better and more aimed at guys.

I purchased this game for my son to use along side a drum kit on his Xbox. Good value for money and hours of fun!!
